Biography
Marty Spinella was born in 1962, and he became a labor lobbyist in the White House, leading the teachers' unions. He opposed the Educational Reform and Achievement Act due to having an amendment that stopped collective bargaining, which Congressman Frank Underwood lied to him about. Spinella used to be friends with him, but he became his enemy due to Underwood's lying to him; he used his unions to prevent the Hotel Cotesworth from hosting the Clean Water Initiative gala held by Claire Underwood, but Underwood, 41 congressmen, and several other guests instead had a picnic-style party on the steps, with police commissioner Barney Hull backing them so that they could not be arrested for trespassing. Spinella had 200 teachers and union people (dressed "smart" to look like teachers) rally outside, but they were bought off when Underwood and his people served them ribs and food, saying that everyone deserved to eat regardless of what side they were on. Spinella was angered, and he led strikes across the nation in revenge.
